So I’ve recently gotten back into playing Magic: the Gathering again. Me being who I am, this means that I’ve got a zillion ideas for new card designs rattling around in my head. Here’s a preview of one of the bits of nifty I’m working on…

This card breaks so many rules.
I don’t even know how to tell whether or not it’s balanced.

One thing I have to say is that It’s kind of hard to tell how the name fits in with the ability.
I guess it might help if there was actual art to demonstrate how it’s used, or flavor text or something.

Anyway, while I’m here, I figure I might as well drop in a couple useless ideas I have.

Rift-Anchor Monolith
If another permanent would be exiled, put that permanent into it’s owner’s graveyard instead.
(1), Exile Rift-Anchor Monolith: [No idea what ability to put here, not sure what would fit the flavor or the function]

I’ve no idea what rarity this would be, or how much it should cost. It seems like it might actually be a pretty game-breaking effect. Johnnies everywhere rejoice.

(name?) (4)(W)(R)(G)
Creature-Beast
6/6
When (name?) is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, put a colorless equipment token into play with the abilities “Equipped creature gets +2/+2, and has trample and lifelink.”
and “Equip (2)”.

In retrospect, this idea is actually strikingly similar to the “living weapon” mechanic already in Mirrodin Besieged.
